Self love has gained immense popularity in recent time, but have we stopped to think about what it really means, and importantly, if it is compatible with Islam?

Watch this presentation by Sister Dalya Ayoub to learn:

• What is self love?
• Is it Islamic?
• Do we need to do it, and if so, how?

Some great quotes from the session:

“Sometimes the western secular definition of self love can be problematic and against Islam, we have to make sure that self-love is in line with our deen.”

“To truly love yourself, you need to live for what you were created for, that is, to worship Allah”

“The measure of self-love is: does Allah love this for me?”

“[Instead of self-love] we need to tame and discipline our nafs (self)”
